Two people pass election posters in Den Bosch, Netherlands, Friday, Feb. 26, 2021. After more than a decade in power, a recent scandal that forced him to resign and a year battling the coronavirus, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's popularity, heightened by his handling of the pandemic, remains high less than a month before a general election. But it is showing signs of eroding along with support for his country's tough COVID-19 lockdown as the vote approaches. (AP Photo/Peter Dejong)
